Report: Eddy Pineiro to forgo senior season at UF

Eddy Pineiro was the prized prospect of the 2016 recruiting cycle. We all remember seeing former Gators coach Jim McElwain riding around with Pineiro the day after losing the 2015 SEC title game, and eventually landing Pineiro at Florida over Alabama.

Many of us have been a part of the “Ed-dy! Ed-dy! chants that have reverberated around Ben Hill Griffin Stadium the past two years.

According to The Gainesville Sun’s Robbie Andreu, Pineiro has informed Florida’s coaching staff that he will forgo his senior year of eligibility to enter the NFL Draft.

Not a surprise here: UF place-kicker Eddy Pineiro is going to forgo his senior season to enter the NFL draft, The Sun has learned.
